1301util-linux 2.9:
1302
1303HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1304
13051) Removed programs:
1306 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1307 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
13081a) Not yet removed program:
1309 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1310 ugly man page).
13111b) Removed directory:
1312 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
13132) Improvements:
1314 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1315 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1316 (i.e., uses locale)
1317 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1318 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1319 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1320 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1321 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1322 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1323 (however, I don't think it really works)
1324 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1325 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
13263) Uglifications:
1327 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1328 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1329 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1330 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1331 work under DOS. (Untested.)
13324) Numerous other small changes.
1333

KZ
1343HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1344
2b6fc908
KZ
13451) New programs:
1346 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1347 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
13481) Removed programs:
1349 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
2b6fc908
KZ
1350 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1351 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1352 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
13532) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1354 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1355 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1356 are encouraged to send patches.
13573) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
13584) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)

73afd3f8 1363HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1364
13651) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1366 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1367
73afd3f8 13682) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1369 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1370 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1371 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1372 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1373 - clear: Included in ncurses
1374 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
5c36a0eb 1375 - lpcntl.
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1376
13773) Bugfixes, additions:
1378 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1379 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1380 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1381 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1382 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1383 and sparc.
1384
2b6fc908 13854) Problems:
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1386 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1387 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1388 ways to deal with this:
1389 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1390 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
5c36a0eb 1391 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1392 simple if you know C.
1393 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1394 to do this.
5c36a0eb 1395 - Use some other rpcgen.

1398
1399This release was never made public
1400
1401See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1402
1403This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1404will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1405- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1406 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1407- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1408- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1409 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1410 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1411 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1412- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1413- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1414
1415Outstanding bugs:
1416- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1417- Several places needs a bit more polish.
1418- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
80d7a313 1419 not necessarily be fixed.

1423
1424HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1425
14260) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1427 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1428
14291) Removed programs:
5c36a0eb 1430 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
7007991f 1431 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1432 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1433 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1434
14352) Bugfixes, additions:
1436 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1437 if you haven't already!
73afd3f8 1438 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
fd6b7a7f
KZ
1439 Arm patches).
1440 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1441 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1442
14433) New programs:
1444 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1445 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1446 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1447 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1448 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1449 hwclock now. Please.

1452util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
1453
1454HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
14550) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1456 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1457 Faith).
1458
1459 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1460
14611) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1462 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1463
1464 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1465 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1466 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz

1469 MAKEDEV:
1470 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1471 md5sum:
1472 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1473 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1474 version.]
1475 ksymoops:
1476 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1477
14782) update_state has been removed
14793) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1480 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1481 Andries Brouwer)
14824) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1483 error reporting
14845) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
14856) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
14867) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1487 /dev/audio if available
14888) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1489 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1490 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1491 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1492 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1493
1494
1495HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
14960) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1497 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
14981) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
14992) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
15003) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1501 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1502 write.
15034) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1504 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1505 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
73afd3f8 1506 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
726f69e2
KZ
1507 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1508 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1509 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1510 possible.
15115) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
15126) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
15137) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
15148) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
15159) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
151610) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1517 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1518 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
151911) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
152012) frag removed. See
1521 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1522 latest version.
152313) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1524 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
152514) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
152615) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1527 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1528 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1529 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1530 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1531 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1532 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1533
1534 New Old
1535
1536 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1537 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1538 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
6dbe3af9
KZ
1539
1540HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
15411) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
15422) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
15433) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1544 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1545 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1546 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1547 directory.
15484) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1549 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1550 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1551 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1552
1553
1554HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1555
15561) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1557 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1558 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1559 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
15602) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
15613) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1562 readprofile
15634) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1701 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1702 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1703 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1704 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1705 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1706 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1707 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1708 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1709 which restores the -o semantics.
1710
1711 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1712 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1713 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1714 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1715 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1716 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1717 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1718 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1719 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1720 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1721 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1722 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1723 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1724 error reporting.
